The first regular section is Mess Hall and Interrogation Room, which includes the wonderful interrogation of Qwert. But that's not all! This freestyle section also includes a brand new contest run by [player]IAmCaffeine[/player]! Prizes? Yes, of course there's prizes! A 3-month or CCup Entry prize to be given away every single issue for 10 issues, followed by a grand prize of a year's Prem. All that, and of course some medals, too. But first, you have to answer the questions so scoot on over to the Freestyle Section forthwith!
The Platoon Report covers all aspects of the Clan scene. It's just bigger and better than ever. IcePack's chart are a delight to look at. Amazing how much data those crazy dudes of the clan world can generate. It's like baseball statistics, but better, because while none of us will ever be Alex Rodriguez or Brett Saberhagen, some of us will be in a Top-10 Clan!
War Games with five big articles also comes close to breaking new records for activity. In the last issue, the section passed the milestone of the 50th tournament interview, and [player]anamainiacks[/player] prepared a fine trivia contest to celebrate the occassion. This issue, the winners of that contest are revealed! I won't say anything: you'll have to look for yourself!
While you're down there, check out the latest TPA news, as well as a new interview (the 51st, if you're counting) with [player]danryan[/player].
Cartographic Surveillance covers the Foundry with the usual level of thoroughness. Among other things, there's a spotlight on a cool new map called Ziggurat.
Our Next Mission Brief includes such things as the closing credits and information on how to subscribe.
With no further ado, please enjoy the product of our labours!
Hello again freestyle readers. I've got a new Scum Insider, we have a trivia challenge with prizes, Dukasaur discusses his SoC game vs Stubbs, and qwert gives an interview in genuine "qwenglish".
[spoiler=Interrogation of Qwert]Q. Why did you change your name from qwert into Qwert? A.well after 6 years in CC i want some change.
Q. Define beauty A.beauty of what?
Q. Do you think cc is beautiful? Explain how please. A.Well i will say only this:bringing up something new to pick public attention, as long as what you bring is not something too bad, then easy to pick people around the table, having them give it a try. on the other hand, what the hard part is, to keep them stay, or keep the number of leaving be almost equal or less than new comers. from this perspective, from 2006 to now, 7 years, still a lot of people to make cc community, this site is quite quite successful. And of course beautiful to.

Q. Why not qwerty? A.Why not sdrsdr0212?
Q. You are one of the most vocal in the thread Is CC declining, if you had the ability, what if anything would you do to stop this perceived decline? A.I will do same like El_Jefe and before hem LAckattack--sell before biger decline . And im not most vocal, i only alarming Owners to do something, and to be aware that Declining are happening. Lackattack dont do nothing, to implement things fast,and to save 23000 active members. I must say that bigwham are very active in fast implementations, and this could finally end of declining topic successful.
Q. How does it feel to now be using a capital Q rather than the lower case? Does it increase the size of your e-peen? Should we now all refer to you as sir, or madame, or another title you may prefer? A.I just take one caffetine, and pretend to not read this question.
Q. If you take the games played on Pelo' War, add that to games played on Imperium Romanum, divide by games played on WWII Europe and multiply by games played on WWII Iwo Jima, what result do you get? Also, how many jaffa cakes can you buy with this figure? A.Ok, i put mine calculator on and result are.................DAMN not so great score i can buy only 500 gram!!!

Q. How often do you use a translate program, such as google translate? A.not to much often recently, because many people start to learn mine qwenglish language, and this its going pretty good.
Q. What is your favorite map that you made? A.Well i think its Peloponesian war, because from start of map creation, i increase mine skils in map making, and this look like best graphicaly map i create. ACW Battle Of Antietam are even better graphically then pelo war. Battle Of Kursk also have a lot graphically details and its very complex, and maybe one day (when things go in right way in Map foundry) could be finished and be for play.
Q. Have you cross mapped all the maps you created? A.Check Map rank, and they say.........................yes im cross mapped all

Q. On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your feelings towards running Clan League 5? A.Before mine resignation its was strong 8,, but after mine resignation drop on 7. There its not question why im resign,so i will not answer why i give this score.
Q. What has been your favorite part of running Clan League 5? Least favorite? A.Favorite part,, well entire organization what i run its was quite good, favorite part its clans who very good, almost all on time create games for each round ( with a help from me with numerous notifications and instructions. Least Favorite> in end that was CD and one DD. I think that this answer everybody know.
Q. How much time goes into running the CL5? Do you enjoy it enough to run CL6? A.Its goes quite much time, consider that this include-table and schedule updates, instructions for each round, Cl5 Newsletter,MVP check, Jump in case when DD are not notice something, check round labels, check transfers, check Player numbers. I was enjoy, only what missing its that this Tournament ,like some people notice, become more like Qwert Clan League, instead to be Official Clan League, because CD (except for first phase) are virtually not exist in second phase, and only come to not help, and stay on one clan side, even when this clan make error. A1.Run Cl6,, well i dont have intention to run CL6, and now this ,consider that im now infamous in eye off CD, because i defend mine decisions, so even hypothetical mine chance for that its zero. Nobody want to have Organizer who want to build all rules on time, who want to implement more things what missing in starting information, who constantly ask for help so that know how to react on some situations, who are annoying and demand that DD who don't work anything in league be replace immediately, and want to all things be correct and fair.

Q. How have you managed to stay dedicated to this site for so long? A.Well its start with maps, so when i finish this i put mine attention on Tournaments(18 finished), then jump to suggestions, and finally discover Clans,also Write Newsletter articles, and become CC Teacher, so i cover all in CC, so nothing left. Its look that i dont have anymore challenges here.
Q. On a scale of 1 to Alexander the Great how much more powerful do you feel with a capital Q? A.I get same shit dices , so i dont get any power, maybe i will go switch again on small q.
Q. On a scale of BoganGod to 10 how much more responsible do you feel with a capital Q? A.This its same, no changes, when i take some job i do its very serious(except if someone block mine work, then unfortunately i need to resign)
Q. On a scale of lackattack to bigWham, with a median factor of El_Jefe, what is nagerous' middle name? A. I dont understand this question.
Q. What was the best victory you ever had on CC? A. I had so many great victories, that its hard to take one, but i give you fresh game: Game 13138675 Our team start good, manage to eliminate one opponent, and then suddenly we can not do anything, any attack we get crap dices, and our opponent get great dices, so only what left for our team its to build impossible strategy to try to win. For this we are forced to start teammate kills, and this was success, we turn this to our win. Great victory in end.

And talk about big news, as of September 19th, Clans finally have their very own tab and page on the site! The new page displays a logo, message, the leaders, player count and score information, war record, and even a games won/lost percentage for every clan. This is a really great step towards recognizing the passion and devotion of clan players on the site, and represents the materialization of a long held dream for many. What future enhancements might be beneficial to the clan page? I take a look at some of the suggestions already posted in our first article this issue - which do you like best? What ideas are still missing? Let us know what you think... who knows, with the rate of updates lately, our feedback could lead to updates in the not too distant future!
As usual, we've got some great updates on two of the biggest events in the clan world.

Yes.... the actual publication date is in the title: Issue 104, 02-10-13. (02-Oct-2013) Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a good way to get around the problem of the template date being preserved when we copy the completed newsletters out to the forum.

Then all five sections would come under my name and the editors of the sections would be robbed of credit for their sections. Also, I think it would reduce the impact of the section breaks if they all looked like they were written by me. To get the sections posted in the proper order and under their proper authorship would require everyone to be online simultaneously, which would be a logistical nightmare to arrange every two weeks.
I've thought of all that, of course. I've also thought about having the different section editors post in separate threads and only merging them out here, but the BB software is too inflexible. It won't let you re-arrange the order of posts in merged threads, so the sections would again be out of order, unless they were made in sequence, which again gets us back to a logistical nightmare of trying to get everybody to post in chronological sequence every two weeks.
